Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX was released in America today for the Playstation 3. At the launch event at the Walt Disney Studio Lot in Burbank, California, Square Enix had shown new Kingdom Hearts III footage and revealed that they will release new information in 2015.
First off, the game is a fully remastered HD compilation of the PlayStation 2 title KINGDOM HEARTS II FINAL MIX and the PSP title KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep FINAL MIX. It also features theatrical cut-scenes from the Nintendo DS title KINGDOM HEARTS Re:coded.
KINGDOM HEARTS 2.5 picks up where KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX left off, letting players continue their adventures with Sora and the gang of Disney characters. With high-definition visuals and enhanced gameplay mechanics, players will explore the origins of the series with Terra, Aqua and Ventus in Birth by Sleep. Players can also venture through various Disney worlds, including Deep Space (Lilo & Stitch), 100 Acre Wood (Winnie the Pooh), Port Royal (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl), Timeless River (Steamboat Willie) and more.
Our friend, from our Project <3 prank, Churro over at KH Ultimania live tweeted the event and shared the details about the Kingdom Hearts 3 exclusive look. The new footage showed concept art, new Heartless designs, a huge town titled Cable Town with Sora in a library/study room and new gun Keyblade attacks for Sora. Sora was shown in various Kingdom Hearts II outfits including Valor and Wisdom form. Sora's Keyblade new attack was the keyblade turning into dual guns that can also transform into a cannon. Chi was also written on a blackboard in the study room. It ends with "More Kingdom Hearts info will be revealed in 2015."
